ScotlandPHP 2018

Seems like only yesterday we were packing up and heading home from a successful second year of ScotlandPHP, it was great to see you there and we hope that you took a lot from the day!

We are delighted to announce we are back in 2018 to do it all again! We will be staying put this year at the EICC in Edinburgh but the date has shifted forward a little to the 6th of October. Make sure to stick it in your diary!

As ScotlandPHP is a community run event we want you to get involved in making sure this years event is bigger, better and more accessible than ever before.

Ok, now that the test worked :P, I just wanted to say that this has been an amazing and fun conference and the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Also Track 3 at the offside whisky tasting was superb.

It's hard in a way, for me to be objective about ScotlandPHP because I'm friends with the organisers and have been to all three. I'll try though :)

I enjoyed the conference this time, even more than the two previous iterations.

Things I liked, particularly...
* The great range of talks, in terms of levels and topics
* The welcoming, inclusive and friendly atmosphere
* Workshops were a good addition, I felt this made it easier for some attendees to get their employers to sign it off the cost as CPD on training budgets
* The venue is well organised and that makes it simple and non-confusing
* The two social events offered were nicely different, so something for everyone
* It didn't feel commercial or business centric
* There are quite a few folk who go every year, so it's nice to catch up with people I've met at previous the ScotlandPHP conferences.

Absolutely fantastic, even better than last year. Very good range of talks and the workshops on Friday were also very good and well worth the money. I am certainly coming to next year's already, for however long they are put on.
